Your Knowledge Management Center

• Surf and save: whenever you find a book, article, or webpage online, use the Picker extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge to quickly send its information and any available full text to Citavi.
• The Picker identifies ISBNs and DOIs on webpages and sends the reference information to your project.
• The Picker can also send webpages and full-text PDFs to Citavi.
• On news sites the Picker pulls metadata from the page and automatically creates a PDF of the article.
• Web content changes frequently. Citavi lets you save a copy of a webpage as a PDF in your project.

Search freely accessible databases, library catalogs, and research databases your organization has licensed – without leaving Citavi.

• Save search queries you use often and avoid importing duplicates.
• Add references from Google Scholar, PubMed, and every other online research database with an export option.
• Citavi saves a list of your imports. You can always check where, when, and with what search terms you performed a search and view the references you added.

• Citavi offers you an extraordinary knowledge tool unique among referencing programs: a flexible, multi-level category system. With Citavi’s categories you can create as many subcategories and levels of subcategories as you want.
• Add references, quotations, images, statistics, summaries, comments, and insights to your category system , which you can later use in Word [LINK] and Google Docs.
• Use categories to create an outline for a future paper, report, or thesis. Or use them to organize your company’s library by topic or workgroup.

• Tag references, quotations, images, summaries, comments and ideas with keywords
• As an additional organizational tool, use groups to further classify your references or track what you’ve done with them. For example, group references that are primary and secondary sources or use groups to document which sources you’ve read and which you haven’t.
• Groups can also be used for sub-sections of your bibliography

• Create temporary selections using labels and Citavi’s built-in filters (by category, group, year, periodical, publisher, etc.).
• Combine and invert filters.
• Define and save filters for complex search queries and share them with your team.

• Export your Citavi categories to Word as an outline for your writing project or use the categories to stay focused on your team’s topics.
• View your references, quotes, images, comments, and ideas by the categories you defined in Citavi to quickly find and use what you need. Just click to insert the references, quotes, images, comments, and ideas you need for each section.
• Citavi takes care of citation and bibliography formatting. Writing was never this easy!
